I'm doing better today. I at least got my house somewhat presentable, which was part of my blue-ness. Classes are going well -- so many things to think about. There is some weird synchronicity between the two that I find interesting. And since this morning's discussion in Women & Gender Studies, I've been thinking an awful lot about mythical norms and internalizing them. I think I'm really good at this -- it's why I can get hired on a job, why I can fit into communities well, why I do well in school. Now I have to undo it and see how much of that I'm still good at. Who said life gets any easier when you get older? I want to write more about this mythical norm thing when I have time. I think there are several of them that I'm trying to live up to.

My brain is waking up and stretching, and that is good. I'm still not exactly sure which major I'm finishing, and that's okay too. I don't have to know right this minute. I thought taking these two classes would help; they represent my two strongest choices (English Lit & Women's Studies). But so far I'm still not sure. I have passion for both, though they are different sorts of passion. Maybe I'll have more of a clue by August.
